Williams (J.). Coastal landscape with cattle watering by a thatched building, circa 1820, watercolour on pale cream wove paper, signed in dark brown ink lower right, contemporary inscription in pencil to verso 'Clullow' (?), sheet size 192 x 279 mm (7 1/2 x 11 ins), tipped on to backing paper, inscribed by Iolo Williams 'Given me by the Appleby's August 1940. I. A.W.', (Quantity: 1) Provenance: Appleby Brothers, London (by 1940); Iolo Aneurin Williams (1890-1962), collector and author of Early English Watercolours and Some Cognate Drawings by Artists born not later than 1785 (London: Connoisseur, 1952). Arthur and Richard Appleby traded in British drawings and watercolours from 27 George St., Portman Square, London (by 1934), from 27 William IV Street, Trafalgar Square (1952-58) and later 10 Ryder Street. Watercolour historian Dudley Snelgrove remembered them as having a shop opposite the National Portrait Gallery with huge bundles of British material which the collectors of the day used to trawl through. When Walkers Galleries closed down, Appleby's bought most of their stock, this is presumably where most of those British drawings came from.
